Victoria Killian, BCPA, PCM, CDME, is a Board Certified Patient Advocate, multiple chronic and rare disease patient, and chronic illness and disability educator based in Los Angeles. Disabled since age 12 and living with multiple complex diagnoses, including gastroparesis, ankylosing spondylitis, and long COVID, Victoria knows firsthand how broken the healthcare system can be. Her lived experience led her to pursue professional patient advocacy to help others avoid the delays, denials, and systemic barriers she’s faced. Victoria serves on the Board of Directors at G-PACT and co-leads its Gastroparesis Support Group. She’s also active on the Advocacy Committees of the Spondylitis Association of America, Arthritis Foundation, and U.S. Pain Foundation. She is deeply committed to health insurance reform, health equity, and reducing the burden of navigating care. Outside of advocacy, Victoria creates digital content on chronic illness, holds multiple certifications in marketing, and finds joy in singing, baking, and spending time training her chocolate lab.
